Aiming for best record

Post by Andrewu91 »

Image


So after a long season, the season is finally coming to an end, with the playoffs just around the corner. Has there been any surprises this season? A few.

After winning the CSL title, GM Andrewu wanted to prove it was no fluke. This year, they are currently tied with the Phoenix Sun's for the best record in the league. Even after resting their guys a combined 20 games this season, they are still first in the West. With 12 games remaining, the Thunder are determined to be the #1 seed going into the playoffs, with a potential matchup with the Dallas Maverick's or Minnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder personally prefer the Maverick's, because the Timberwolves match up with the Thunder better. If the Thunder get lucky and escape round 1, they are most likely looking at the Houston Rockets or Portland Trailblazers. So these next 12 games are all must wins and after going 12-1 the last 13 games, the Thunder are poised to show who really is the best team in the CSL and repeat as champions, but there are plenty of hungry and young teams out there, that want MY title. This will be a battle, so let's so who really is the best in the CSL.

I wanted to gun for a top 3 seed but Kemba's injury threw a major wrench into everything. If I somehow sneak by Portland or whoever ends up in 5th seed, Kemba still isn't likely to be back till very late in the 2nd round or the WCF. I have my doubts but hope we can have a healthy series sometime soon

You were patient and finally got the players you wanted and though it took some maneuvering getting Stanley Johnson Jr to be the player you wanted (I remember your frustration and even considered trading him often) you toughed it out with him and became a juggernaut!

Bledsoe has been an integral part as well as your other guys, great great job man! Looking primed to repeat though it'll be quite tough with the Western powerhouses, you get past them I hate to say it but I don't see an Eastern team that can beat you.

Great job! I'm hoping I can build a legit contender as such once I get my footing in this league.

You've managed health and minutes better then most and I like that you didn't punt the season in favor of a rebuild as you are still a top team in the West and might even be a favourite to win a title and repeat. Stanley is flawed but his foul draw rate and rebounding is super valuable and he's surrounded by elite defenders to boot.

Right. I still remember two real life years ago, I told you I wanted to surround him with threes and defense.

N thanks

You got the talent. In my opinion, never ever ever ever trade Jabari or Ball. It will happen, but patience is a virtue. Check my sig of my records

Yeah man. Resting players in dds3 actually helps. I tested it myself and it helps with injuries too.

& Yeah winning gets boring sometimes I just wanna rebuild and try something new haha

It will be and you guys always perform well in the playoffs. If we match I see it going to game 7, especially with Ingles healthy...

Update:

In a shocking turn of events, the Thunder went from #3 to #1 seed, in the Western Conference, in just a matter of weeks after guaranteeing the best record, which they have achieved. Even after benching their guys a combined 20 games, they got lucky. Or is it really luck? We will see come playoffs...
